    Can't wait for College football to START!!!!

    Did you see the coach we had last season? He was a laughing stock all year! Bielema should be a different story.

    Can't wait for College football to START!!!!

    Cajun, we are talking about a team that Arkansas put 50+ points on 2 years ago I think right? There are no definite's in sports, but Arkansas SHOULD be able to pull it off without much trouble. If not, the rest of the season will be very sad in this part of the country. We can't have another...

    My first smoke-whole chicken

    It is not a Brinkman ECB. It is a cheapo charbroil, but is essentially the same set up as my parent's much more expensive gas smoker. The vents are part of my problem along with opening the main door too often. The charcoal was briquettes.

    Cajun, I highly doubt that will be the case, but who knows with a rebuilding year.

    My first smoke-whole chicken

    It's just a charbroil vertical smoker from Walmart. The rub I made was just a bunch of spices I had in the cabinet thrown together. I looked at Billbo's for a starting point/ratio reference and went from there. Turned out pretty good. I think part of the issue with mine not getting done as...

    My first smoke-whole chicken

    I ended up throwing it on the grill. After adding more charcoal to the smoker, it only got back up to about 200 and after nearly 4 hrs, was still somewhat raw inside. Finished quickly on the grill.

    My first smoke-whole chicken

    I just did and its just maintaining at 175 for some reason... I have the lower vents open about 3/4 and the top just barely open.

    Now my temp is down to around 175... Getting a little concerned about it getting too low...

    My first smoke-whole chicken

    TX-OK-LA-AR gathering???

    AK is a little far from you... But AR on the other hand is a neighboring state! :) I would be too far away for a Texas guy as I am in NW Arkansas/SW Missouri.

    My first smoke-whole chicken

    Well, I am in the middle of my first smoke. I am doing this one with straight charcoal that has hickory in the charcoal. I made up my own rub last night so am hoping it works out ok. Temp seems to be fairly stable between 200 and 225. How long should I leave it on?

    Josh- NW Arkansas

    Hey guys!  New to the forum and just looking to take in some info.  I just got my first smoker for my birthday.  My parents got me the CharBroil vertical charcoal smoker.  Nothing fancy, but seems like it will be a good beginner smoker.  I know virtually nothing about smoking meats, but I am...
